Show more >> FCK 2020 – 2 and a Half Years With Scooter is an entertaining ride, but it doesn’t quite hit all the right notes. While it’s fascinating to see H.P. Baxxter’s journey, the documentary can feel a bit disjointed at times, especially when transitioning between personal anecdotes and the broader context of the pandemic. The energy is undeniably infectious, and Baxxter’s passion for music shines through, but the film sometimes skims over deeper emotional insights that would have added more depth. The visuals are vibrant and the music is, of course, a highlight, but I found myself wanting more substance beneath the surface. It’s enjoyable for fans and offers a glimpse into the life of a music icon, but it may not resonate as strongly with those unfamiliar with Scooter’s work. Still, it’s worth a watch if you’re in the mood for something light and upbeat. Show less
